It was also welcomed by Doras Luimni, the local support group for all migrants. Information was provided on all services which the gardai provide for ethnic communities. “It was an opportunity for members of An Garda Siochana to personally meet with members of the intercultural community and discuss any issues which they may have,” said Louise Dineen, community policing co-ordinator at Henry Street.
